Not bad but not her best, May 17, 2000
This 250-page story started out with a lot of potential, but fizzled about 2/3 of the way into the book. It would have been great if Krentz had written the murder-mystery angle a bit better. Instead, what the reader gets is another of her Scooby Doo storylines that makes you roll your eyes. What do I mean by Scooby Doo? Think back to when you were a kid watching that cartoon. Every show was a mystery of some sort and at the end of it the villain would spill all of his evil plans to dominate the world while holding "the gang" hostage. Krentz does the same thing. I mean, how many criminals are really going to take the time to detail the how and the why of their crimes to the victims? And how many victims will care to drag the story out of their captors while at gunpoint? Most victims would be more interested in survival than in assauging their curiosity. Another aspect of the book that became a major annoyance after awhile was her overuse of exclamation points. Practically every other sentence ended with an exclaimer. It got to be too much. It had the same affect as writing in all caps. No Krentz book is "bad" per se, but this is one of her less noble efforts. I'd save this book for when you are down to the nitty gritty and have absolutely nothing else left of hers to read.

horrible, August 7, 2007
to be honest, i hated this book. i could barely finish it... i hated conn - he was a jerk. and honor wasn't very bright, and her sister was worse, my god! for once, can we get a sister/friend/etc who doesn't betray her friend/sister/etc by telling the man where she went... i know my friends would NEVER tell an ex or a guy i was fighting with where i was if i didn't want them to know...
also, conn was practically abusive and then honor feels sorry for him! get a life - i don't care how bad a day he has had, that doesn't give him the right to attack you...
regardless, find another book; maybe one of her newer books, b/c they are pretty good, but skip this one

pleasant tale, October 14, 2002
Honor Mayfield thought she was being rescued from a nasty man blackmailing her younger sister. Instead she was going from a nasty man's clutches to the clutches of a dangerous man. Con Landry was the man on the spot, helping her free her sister from the blackmailer, but what Honor did not know, Conn was running a more sinister game. One of revenge, and the key to the mystery is the race horse his father and her father owned as partners. A very enjoyable tale that has been reprinted more than once.
